KCBS Radio In Depth

Infrastructure is essential to our everyday lives. When infrastructure works, it often goes unnoticed or is taken for granted. When it fails, all hell can break loose.

Three years ago, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was signed into law. It was hailed as a once-in-a-generation investment, but has the bipartisan law delivered on its promise?

Mike DeNardo from KYW Newsradio in Philadelphia has more in this In Depth report.

AI is turning up everywhere and somehow, it’s finding its way into everything we own and use on a daily basis. But what is it, and why are so many people worried it’s going to take over?

For those in the know, it’s been a long road from where it began to where women’s professional basketball is today. The WNBA got its start in 1997, but it wasn’t the first women’s league.

The women’s professional basketball league formed in 1978 with franchises across the country, even a team in San Francisco—the Pioneers. And at the same time the W was getting its start, the American Basketball League was working to get more women on the court, too.

While the WBL and ABL didn’t last, their formation spoke of a craving to see women’s basketball teams compete and to see more women hoop. And now, the WNBA, almost 30 years later, is not only surviving—it’s thriving, reaching a golden hour of popularity, global attention, and the kind of popularity it's been seeking all along.

KCBS reporters Mary Hughes and Holly Quan take a deep dive into the rise of women’s basketball on this edition of In Depth.

For more on this, KCBS Reporter Mary Hughes spoke with Sonoma State Political Science Professor David McCuan, on this edition of In Depth.

Artificial intelligence has been one of the most common buzzwords of late. But is it a tool to make life better, or something to fear? KCBS Radio report Matt Bigler spoke with tech analyst Ben Bajarin to answer these questions and more, on this episode of In Depth.

San Francisco is known for a lot of things - the Golden Gate Bridge, Karl the Fog, the Giants - but it’s also known as a haven for the foodie, from a square slice of pizza from Golden Boy Pizza to a mission style burrito from La Taqueria and about a million other delights in between. The food scene in the city by the bay is definitely elite, but has it always been that way? And in these post-pandemic times, has that scene changed for the better - or for the worse?

We’ll dive into those questions and more with Trevor Felch, food, travel, and drinks writer. You might recognize his name from food and wine reviews in the Nob Hill Gazette or from several Fodor's Guidebooks to San Francisco and other parts of the Bay Area. He’s also the author of ‘San Francisco Cocktails’ and of ‘City Eats San Francisco’ which came out earlier this year.
